I took the ticket 2 days at 18€, I appreciated the flexibility (I was able to use it 2 days apart). I had 2 different drivers: a woman and a man, both were very friendly and attentive to their passengers. I also enjoyed the stop at the Garoupe chapel with the accompanying drivers. It’s also nice to just stay on the bus.” - Reviewed at 2024-08-09
